Anyone willing to help give me a Zaino lesson?

Well I am wondering if any of you kind souls would be willing to give me a Zaino lesson? I want to buy everything and get a nice coat on before winter comes. Since I am getting the graphics tomorrow (Sat.) I thought it would be a good time to find someone to help.

Just so you are forwarned - I have never actually 'waxed' a car. I used some wash and wax stuff a LONG time ago when I used to have wash my parents' cars. So I know nothing...and am open to molding. I have a Mr.Clean Wash thing, which I have used on the mini - but she has had nothing else on her except what they did at the dealer 3 weeks ago. I've read the forum on claybar, washining, and zainoing I'd just would feel better having someone supervise/help.

Location: I have a parking space, which I have a hose that can reach it, but not much else. So not sure if that would be a factor.

Thanks!

How are you for supplies?

Do you have enough towels, microfiber cloths, etc?

Wash the applicators your Zaino was shipped with FIRST. It will make a difference in how well they work.

I'm probably about fifteen miles from you, and have applied Zaino exactly one time, so I'm only up on your count by one. Good results, though.

How extensive is your vinyl/decal work? I'd get advice from the application crew regarding claying near the decal work, best products, etc. I just use Zaino on the whole thing, myself, with bonnet stripes and a clearbra.

Cheers,
Matthew Z.
